The early mapmakers really had it very hard to create a proper map, as they didn't had any of the modern technology that nowadays we do. They had to rely on their orientation in the space, be able to properly adjust the distances, using only their eyes and brains. Also, they were putting into the maps areas that were told and described by them by people that were there, but they personally haven't even seen the place. The knowledge they had about the size of the world was very limited, as they were not really able to travel that much during their lifetime.

Their interpretation is usually relatively good and relatively accurate considering the circumstances. Of course there were some misjudged distances and proportions, but not by far. Since they only new so much of the world, they usually were making the map, thus the size of the world, from the eastern most location they new, to the westernmost location they new, either putting straight lines like that is the end of the world, or putting waters to mark the same.

Give a .brief argument in favor of the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Although the treaty of Versailles did lead to the second world war, there are some parts of it which did make sense.

Answer below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Treaty of Versailles will force the responsible nations to pay something to the nations they affected. For example, Germany was stripped of some of its lands and all of its overseas colonies. Germany was also forced to pay 33 billion US dollars. This helped pacify the neighboring countries by making it so that they would gain something for all that they lost. Also, the Treaty attempted to prevent a second World War by making Germany have a troop limit and making them unable to use any military technology such as tanks or planes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be completely honest, the answer I gave you is true for the people who made the Treaty, but not for the people who saw its aftermath. The Treaty of Versailles caused in some part the Great Depression of Germany because it forced them to rely on American loans to pay off their debt. It also garnered hostility from the Germans since they took away their lands like the Rhineland and the Sudetenland. It was a catastrophic mistake in part of the allies.

What does it mean to appreciate culture? Using complete sentences, give an example of a way people can appreciate a culture that
Svetlanka [38]
People can approach culture in different ways by helping one another and learning and becoming more involved, for example if your friend believes in a different god and has a different religion then you should appreciate the difference between you two. If the whole entire world believed in one person or higher being than it would not be a culturally different as it is now.
